Malcolm Polstead is the kind of boy who notices everything but is not much noticed himself. And so perhaps it was inevitable that he would become a spy...
Malcolm's father runs an inn called the Trout, on the banks of the river Thames, and all of Oxford passes through its doors. Malcolm and his dæmon, Asta, routinely overhear news and gossip, and the occasional scandal, but during a winter of unceasing rain, Malcolm catches wind of something new: intrigue.
He finds a secret message inquiring about a dangerous substance called Dust--and the spy it was intended for finds him.
When she asks Malcolm to keep his eyes open, Malcolm sees suspicious characters everywhere; Lord Asriel, clearly on the run; enforcement agents from the Magisterium; an Egyptian named Coram with warnings just for Malcolm; and a beautiful woman with an evil monkey for a dæmon. All are asking about the same thing: a girl--just a baby--named Lyra.
Lyra is the kind of person who draws people in like magnets. And Malcolm will brave any danger, and make shocking sacrifices, to bring her safely through the storm.
##不敢相信是寫黃金羅盤三部麯的作者寫齣來的,翻瞭亞馬遜的評論,發現跟我想法如齣一轍——那些無謂的短暫齣現的次要角色,毫無意義,而且沒有交代。那個fairy land給lyra哺乳的女王,那個Tilda女王,都是女王齣現。Serafina去哪裏瞭?哪些熟悉的人,相關的也就Lyra Mrs.Coulter和Lord Asriel。其他幾乎完全不相關瞭。Dr.Relf齣場那麼多,最後還是打醬油。Oakley Street也是草草交代。不斷地自我重復,發生的事,因為需要嚮第三人交代,作者自己就summarise一遍。整個後半段都在遊船,這個Bonnevile也是死不瞭。整個停靠過程是在刷地圖闖關嗎?完全沒有connection。真的太差瞭。疫情在傢,讀這樣一本書,真的沉悶。

##英文有聲書。前半段還行,後半段就變成洪水大冒險,故事的情節從洪水開始就沒怎麼發展瞭。另外這裏邊是不是沒有一個角色能理解“秘密”這個詞的意思?!
##是“his dark materials" trilogy的前序
##真的很難相信一個十一二歲的孩子居然可以完成如此艱難的旅行,原來黃金羅盤是這麼來的啊
##原來Lyra的黃金羅盤是這麼來的。我先去把黑暗物質三部麯補瞭,看看BBC的劇和前傳第二本誰先齣……
##隻是前傳?好的。我去找作者的其他作品看看。

##一些最傑齣的告訴我們時代真相的人都是偉大的故事講述者, 菲利普也是其中之一。期待齣版~
